Jared Leto says he screamed the whole time during ride with NASCAR driver

For an unexpected combination, Jared Leto visited the NASCAR world Wednesday at Texas Motor Speedway.

The Academy Award-winning actor hung out with XFINITY Series driver Tyler Reddick while promoting his band Thirty Seconds To Mars’ new album. And, of course, he got a 200-mph ride around the track – where NASCAR is competing this weekend – with the JR Motorsports driver.

Like a lot of people who experience riding in a race car for the first time, Leto told the Star-Telegram in Texas he didn’t know exactly how to react in the passenger seat because the ride is so “intense.”

He said the experience was “amazing,” adding:

“I was inside screaming the whole time just like a kid. It’s either you scream for joy or you scream for panic, but you’re screaming.”
